Chemistry Questions

The gram formula mass of a compound is nothing but the molar mass.

The molar mass of K2CO3 (Potassium Carbonate) is given by

Atomic weights of individual elements are

K (Potassium) = 39 g

C (Carbon) = 12 g

O (Oxygen) = 16 g

Hence, that of K2CO3 = 39(2) + 12 + 16(3)

= 78 + 12 + 48

= 138.

Cellular respiration is the three-step process by which cells make ATP using glucose and oxygen.

Oxygen and glucose are both reactants in the process of cellular respiration. The main product of cellular respiration is ATP, waste products include carbon dioxide and water.

Electronegativity refers to the ability of an atom to attract shared electrons in a covalent bond. The higher the value of the electronegativity, the more strongly that element attracts the shared electrons.

Electronegativity increases from bottom to top in groups, and increases from left to right across periods. Thus, fluorine is the most electronegative element and lithium is the least.

Steel is not a compound or element. Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon and other elements and hence it is a mixture. Because of its high tensile strength and low cost, it is a major component used in buildings, infrastructure, tools, ships, automobiles, machines, appliances, and weapons.

The most important polymer present in the nucleus is DNA- the master molecule. It is a polymer of Nucleotides.

The given statement is True.

Ketchup is acidic, having a pH of 3.9. The acidic component, acetic acid, will react with the metal tin. This reaction will result in a metal acetate that will contaminate the ketchup.

Hence, The acetic acid in the ketchup will react with the metal tin, forming a metal acetate that will pass into the ketchup which leads to its contamination.
